Turbo

[Deleted User]

Just a quick thought that crossed my mind. The new clio 1.2 comes with turbo now, if they still use the same engine block as what is in the micra does this mean one could be fitted to a k12 maybe?

erm... its a possibility..... go and ask the renault dealer to have a looksee... and take some pics

I bet one of the clio 2.0 engines would fit... Same floor plan after all..

Well what about SR20DE conversions, anyone done this or any instructions etc on it? I did hear that nissan made one but decided not to put into production. (Not the RML R version)

renault also did a 3.0 clio too....how fun would that be!!

the only engines the micra and clio share are the dci ones iirc, so i doubt the turbo will be easy swap.

the 2.0 ltr engine nissan used was from the clio 172 but it upset the handling way to much so didn't bother.

quite a few rumors are popping up that the mr18de and mr20de may be easy-ish swap, as mounts seem similar, even fordy commented that the mounts might be the same after he had a quick look.
